by William Carleton
On This Page
Description
It was on one of those nights in August when the moon and stars shine through an atmosphere clear and cloudless with a mildness of lustre almost continental that a horseman advancing at a rapid pace turned off a remote branch of road up a narrow lane and dismounting before a neat whitewashed cottage gave a quick and impatient knock at the door.Tags

Warning: May contain spoilers.)On John's moiety, he built a suitable house; but Una and her husband, and Honor, all live with themselves, and we need scarcely say, for it is not long since we spent a week with them, that the affection of the old people for their grand-children, is quite enthusiastic, and that the grand-children, both boys and girls, are worthy of it.
